Vhloughvang, I played Shalif, and I thank you for the compliment. I tried my best, and we had some nice fights. Ended up with roughly equal ratio. Sadly I kind of have to agree, that you were not a really good sport. While your roleplay was probably excellent (never saw much of it, since I was on the opposing side), to me cf is primarily a PK game, and I hold sportsmanship to a high value. I am not the kind of guy who complains about rager gangs, but then again I like ragers being nice after ganging me, instead of looting me to the pies. Anyways, your char was real buff, and you deserve muchos respect for it.


On the other hand, I honestly think you recieved an unfair amount of credit. While yours was deserved, I think longevity vs. excelent performance is preferred too much. Example:

A log of me fending off 4 raiding ragers solo, w/o preps. Not three, four.

And the imm comments I get for fairly constantly pulling things like these off:

When on the other hand, Vhloughvang gets 4k exp for killing 2 out of 3 raiders, at the D, which is arguably the best place to defend.


I am one of those dudes who always feels cheated when I read my imm comments. One of the main reasons (I hope ) is that I tend to play very short spanned characters, I have 4-5 weeks to play, and I use it to play a 300 hours char. I am sure there are others like me, who feel equally cheated. So, I would ask you, cf imms to at least consider working towards rewarding characters equally according to merits instead of the intirely humane reaction of preferance of long duration characters over flames that burn bright and quick.

Again, I am not saying Vhloughvang did now deserve his rewards, but I think a huge amount of players/characters (not necessarily mine) have a justified reason to feel kind of cheated and bitter.
